Machine Tag Arrays
One problem with #machinetags is that you can only represent one object per post. For example, you can only represent one location (geo:lat, geo:lon) per post. if you had more than one location you wouldn't know which geo:lat to associate with which geo:lon.
I've been thinking about how to solve this and one simple solution seems to be to allow for array syntax like this:
geo[0]:lat=57.64911
geo[0]:lon=10.40744
geo[1]:lat=50.167958
geo[1]:lon=-97.133185
#private
Any post that has the private hashtag is only visible to me. I use this convention to avoid an extra interface element to mark posts as private for something I do less often.
#ux #ui #converspace #indieweb #tagging
#technology
One of the biggest complains I got from non-geek readers (which is a significant percentage of readers) of my other blog was that most of the stuff I posted there did not make sense to them. So on sandeep.io, I add the #technology tag to posts that might not be of interest to my non-geek readers in the hope that in the very near future they will be able to subscribe to everything that's not #technology related.
Liking how the implementation of trailing tags came out. The tags after this paragraph were entered into the same textarea as this post using special syntax to allow for them to be wrapped in a div during rendering and make them available for styling via CSS. I decreased their font size and greyed them out to slightly de-emphasize them and visually differentiate them as additional metadata.
